Chapter 51: White Ghost 3
Baek Moo-jin still wore white robes and carried a white long sword.
He killed dozens without uttering a word. He even caught up to those who began fleeing and killed them with a blank expression.
Brave enemies, fearful enemies, swift-footed ones, slow-footed ones, the wounded, the unharmed, from foot soldiers to squad leaders and clan heads. He swung his sword without distinction or discrimination.
Baek Moo-jin was strong.
And he wielded martial arts truly unique in the martial world.
But the fear slowly taking root in the hearts of the black-clad men stemmed not from Baek Moo-jin’s strength or his peculiar martial arts, but from the fact that even amidst this slaughter, no change in his emotional expression could be detected.
Moreover, Baek Moo-jin’s clothes remained spotless.
What did clean clothes have to do with fear? Yet, in a battlefield like this, it was impossible, making it all the more terrifying.
One of the fleeing Gu Tianmeng members let out a piercing scream without realizing it.
“That man is a White Ghost!”
Since he hadn’t introduced himself and no one had seen him speak, it wasn’t unreasonable to think he was a ghost.
Moreover, Baek Mujin carried a chill so bitter it cut to the bone.
Fear and chill gripped the hearts of the Nine Heavens Alliance members, cementing Baek Moo-jin’s place as the ‘White Ghost’ within them.
Amidst this chaos, Baek Moo-jin kept chasing and killing.
But these were Nine Heavens Alliance members, breaking military discipline and scattering in all directions to flee. Some dove beneath inns, others scrambled onto rooftops. Some threw themselves into the river flowing behind the bustling district while running, while others used the sheer cliff face as an escape route, scrambling down. Among them, the quick-witted ones instinctively fled in the opposite direction of the North Heaven Sect. In truth, that was the escape route offering the highest chance of survival.
